Teach traverse_trees_recursive() to not do redundant ODB lookups when both directories refer to the same OID.

In operations such as read-tree, checkout, and merge when the differences between the commits are relatively small, there will likely be many directories that have the same SHA-1. In these cases we can avoid hitting the ODB multiple times for the same SHA-1.

This patch handles n=2 and n=3 cases and simply copies the data rather than repeating the fill_tree_descriptor().

================ On the Windows repo (500K trees, 3.1M files, 450MB index), this reduced the overall time by 0.75 seconds when cycling between 2 commits with a single file difference.

(avg) before: 22.699 (avg) after: 21.955 ===============

================ Using the p0004-read-tree test (posted earlier this week) with 1M files on Linux:

before: $ ./p0004-read-tree.sh 0004.5: switch work1 work2 (1003037) 11.99(8.12+3.32) 0004.6: switch commit aliases (1003037) 11.95(8.20+3.14)

after: $ ./p0004-read-tree.sh 0004.5: switch work1 work2 (1003037) 11.02(7.71+2.78) 0004.6: switch commit aliases (1003037) 10.95(7.57+2.82) ================
